A review by calistareads
Arctic White by Danna Smith

4.0

“When you live in the Arctic in winter; everything is a shade of white. But inside, there is hope.”
I appreciate that line.


Spoiler ahead***

A girl is tired of all the white and not having any other color. It is dark out in the winter with no light and the girl longs for some color, some golden hope of color. (I understand as I love color so much too.) Her grandfather takes the family on an adventure to see something special. They trek through the cold and white all around them. They take a seat and look up to see…
the aurora borealis. The sky is full of swirling beautiful colors with enough light to see by. Greens, purples, red and blue fill the sky. The family has hope again.

This is a beginning book set in another part of the world. It feels so different and interesting. The artwork is beautiful and uses every color of white to think of.

The kids enjoyed this story. It held their attention and they were entertained. They both gave it 4 stars.
